Scott Belsky and I were introduced by a mutual friend, and right off, I was taken by his passion and pragmatic approach to a project then in infancy: Behance (Network).
After a long conversation, I was thinking that he had launched the project I wish I had thought of – since such a void in the creative community was begging to be filled. Since then, everytime we exchanged – he pried my mind for honest positive or negative feedback in order to finetune and exercise critical assessment of where he was at, in making his ideas happen.
Now after 5 years in the making, he is just about to release a book that encompasses the core problem of all walk creatives: taking their ideas from inspiration to execution. My review copy is starting to look like a barriolage of highlighted-not-to-be-forgotten-tips-and-insights, it is just that relevant. Just the table of contents is enough to salivate in anticipation.
Please support someone who will make a true difference in how you approach both career and projects. Pre-order the book now.

Victim illustration series by QQ Zhao is a striking social comment and somewhat sinister realistic look at the current state of “many young people today in China (who) have no sense of self-worth.”
In my view, this may even reflect a more universal and overlooked syndrome. Splendid execution.

Why create the Global Rich List? “We wanted to do something which would help people understand, in real terms, where they stand globally. And make us realise that in fact most of us (who are able to view this web page) are in the privileged minority.”
You are richer than you think! Please support!

Inspiring story published by the NYT! It’s all about living the dream (this thing you are so passionate about). Read on.
That hobby looks like a lot of work by Alex Williams.
“Ms. Gibran, who is in her 30s, had been selling her hand-knit scarves and accessories on the site for less than a year when she decided last November to quit her day job at a copy center in Atlanta. Thirteen months later, she would seem to be living the Etsy dream: running a one-woman knitwear operation, Yokoo, from her home and earning more than $140,000 a year, more than many law associates.”
